# Palace starlet tipped for Premier League success

On Saturday afternoon at New Meadow, Shrewsbury Town’s home ground, lesser-known Palace youngster Sullay Kaikai bagged a brace to help The Shrews to three points against Colchester.

The on-loan midfielder came off the bench to score two goals for Micky Mellon’s side and the Shrewsbury manager was [full of praise](https://www.london24.com/sport/football/clubs/crystal-palace/brilliant_crystal_palace_academy_starlet_tipped_to_make_premier_league_impact_1_4268229) for the London-born Kaikai after the game.

The Englishman has been well thought of at Selhurst for a while, and he’s widely tipped to make an impact in the top tier at some point during his career.

The 20-year-old’s nine minute double at the weekend clear proof of his quality and undoubted talent.

Kaikai joined Shrewsbury just a few weeks ago in the middle of September, on a four-month loan deal, and there’d be no surprise if that was extended if his performances continue in a similar vein.
